Sweet write-up, I have heard most of that from different sources but never in one complete package. Now alot of things make more sense.

The "retarded" way is the correct way. And it's not even close.

Do you see why?

i dont care if it's right because that's how you would actually pronounce his full name. of course if you're saying his full name you would not stress the DAVE part, nor would you stress the LIN part. saying a full name you tend to stress the first and last names equally.

so no, i don't see why you chose to use the most beat-up phrases in the history of 2+2 to tell me something that isn't right.

again, i can't believe so many people thought it was dah'-vuh-lin.

Well, Dave's from Chicago as am I. There we accent the first syllable of the last name with a secondary accent on the first syllable of the first name.

All you commies from the other coasts can corrupt the language, dropping r's and adding them indiscrimitely, sticking "I got yuh (whatever) right heah" in the middle of conversation, being sensitive to the feelings of the audience by being condescending, but we midwestern folk have the proper usage of our language. This is borne out by the way the media speak, which is the way it is spoken in middle America.

Using "the most beat-up phrases in the history of 2+2" proves the point, because it is correct.

Jeet jet?

Media-speak much more closely resembles the way people talk in California, not the way people talk in Minnesota, Chicago, or anywhere else in middle America. Do U C Y?

Hey, I made comments. But ya, I started this mess.

Not true. Wetdog is correct.

Sorry, gotta go with Wook on this one. Nobody in LA has an accent that they didn't bring here with them. Sure, surfers talk like surfers, but that's the same way that surfers talk the world over.

It's not just accents, it's also idiomatic expressions. Go into a deli in Van Nuys and ask for a "pop and a grinder" and you're likely to get picked up for lewd conduct.

Have you ever been to Kansas?

About davelin's name: I don't pronounce everything I read, especially internet handles that aren't immediately obvious. I never parsed the "dave" out of "davelin" so to me it's always been "D!#!@#$".
